Lena Live! Radio Show on BBSRadio.

com Re-Makes Format with Strong Focus

on Education

Inspired by the documentary film, “Waiting For Superman,” BBSRadio.com radio personality and
host, Elyena Miremonde, has re-vamped the format of her radio show, LenaLive!, to focus on
education themed shows, along with the performing arts.

Bronxville, NY, October 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With a celebrated background in music performance and
music education, and in light of the revealing new documentary film, Waiting For Superman, highlighting
educational deficiencies in the American public school system, BBS Internet Radio host, Elyena
Miremonde is re-directing her radio show, LenaLive!, to focus on childhood education, broad
education-based topics and the performing arts.

LenaLive! host Elyena Miremonde boasts a resume that includes studying and earning multiple degrees in
musicology and psychology from Moscow State University and Conservatory, and teaching posts
including the 92nd Street Y, Rutgers University and Taubman Institute of Piano. Miremonde's vocational
passions are rooted in music and education, with a drive to become the American radio voice for
education advocacy. Miremonde intends to use her BBS Internet Radio Program, LenaLive!, as a
platform and launching pad for her strong advocacy of children and their educational enrichment,
particularly as it pertains to the arts.

“After teaching for over 30 years, I am convinced that the most valuable learning experience a person can
have can only come from another person. There is no software application or even a book that can
substitute the personal interaction between a teacher and a student,” explains Miremonde. “On this
premise, I am bringing my radio show back to the foundation of personal interaction between the
interviewee who will teach, and our listeners who will learn and ask questions by calling in to the show.”

In addition to the weekly radio program, LenaLive!, Elyena Miremonde has opened her Westchester,
New York facility, The Music Garden, which will provide musical and cultural enrichment to the
community of Westchester County, New York. “This human exchange of information is also the
foundation for my artistic workshop program, The Music Garden, a sanctuary where creativity can be
stimulated and nurtured through personal, educational interaction.”

Officially launching November 2010, The Music Garden will provide workshop programs for children
ages 2 years and up as well as adult workshops, all integrating the joy of musical performance with light
music theory, artistic expression, discussion and movement; a truly unique workshop experience. In
addition, The Music Garden will offer their ongoing celebrated concert series, seamlessly blending a
variety of musical genres in an intimate setting.

“With LenaLive! The Music Garden moves beyond its Westchester, New York location to reach listeners
around the world, inviting everyone to take part in our creative laboratory,” states Miremonde.”

LenaLive! host Elyena Miremonde will book guests for her radio show that have information to impart to

About LenaLive! Host, Elyena Miremonde

For over thirty years, Elyena Miremonde has been applying her approach of integrating the arts into the
lives of children and adults. In her mid-teens, she began teaching music to children as part of her own
training as a concert-pianist.

Miremonde inherited a rich tradition of music in her studies with Theodore Gutman, at the Moscow
Conservatory. After obtaining degrees in musicology, performance and psychology, she emigrated to the
United States with her family in the late 1970s. In New York, she worked with Dorothy Taubman, who
created an extraordinary physiological approach to keyboard playing that became a part of Miremonde's
musical foundation.

For over ten years, Elyena Miremonde was on the faculty of the Taubman Institute of Piano. She also
taught at the 92nd St. Y in New York, and was a Professor of Music at Rutgers University. Throughout
the United States and Europe Miremonde has given numerous lectures, master classes and workshops in
the United States and in Europe on music, music history and the psychology of performance.

Her work caught the attention of Jerome Shestack, former U.N. Ambassador under the Carter
Administration, who endorsed Miremonde's work. This led to the formation for The Music Garden, which
she directs with her son, Julian Lampert, her partner and Artistic Director of The Music Garden Concert
Series and Music Workshops. Miremonde is currently host of the live call-in talk and interview radio
show, “Lena Live!,” airing Tuesday evenings on BBS Internet Radio (www.bbsradio.com).
